How to be a good learner
Today I'd like to share my experience about how to be good learner.As a teenager，it is very
important to be a good learner. Here is some of my advice.
First, review your lessons in time after class. If you have any problems, you'd better ask
others for help. You’d better use different ways to improve your memory. For example,you can
imagine a picture in your mind if you want to remember something. Second, get ready for your
next lessons before class.This will help you understand the teacher's words more easily. Third，
don't forget to listen carefully in class. What’s more, good living habits can also make you a good
learner. You can keep on doing exercise to stay healthy
